Losing weight for Mickey

[GrammyJudy]

Congratulations I am a couple of weeks behind you and down 8 pounds. Need to lose a lot but hope to lose 20-30 before our trip

We had been talking about going to WDW and about a month ago decided we were going for 1st time and I decided around May 7th that I wanted to lose some weight before going so I cut back on cokes and junk food and started walking. I have now lost 7 lbs!

Name: Stephanie
Age: 34
Beginning Weight: 175.8
Goal Weight: 130
Diet: Eat healthier, cut out cokes and junk food
Exercise: Walking and workout 3-4 times a week
Weight now: 168.6

Just an update! I haven't checked in since I started but summers are so busy with the kids home plus we moved. I haven't exercised any or a diet! I weighed in this morning at 166 which is down a little over 2 lbs so not bad since I have been eating whatever and not exercising. But I have officially started my diet as of today. I put myself on a 1200 calorie diet and will start off walking for 30 minutes everyday and a 20 minute exercise DVD.

Our 1st ever trip to WDW isn't until Dec. 1-7th so I have time still to try to lose a little weight if I work on it.

So what's everyone doing tomorrow? I'm planning on going to the gym and doing body pump and then walking/running on the treadmill for about 20-30 minutes. Is anyone here on My fitness pal? It's a great app for keeping up with calories and exercise.

Tomorrow I am going to try to get back on the wagon. It has been hard to motivate myself the last 2 weeks. By the time the day is over I barely have enough energy to brush my teeth let alone workout! Thankfully I have not gained any weight just maintained. However I had my cholesterol checked and my good cholesterol was WAY low which means I need to start regularly working out. Tomorrow I am going to try to get up early and go for a run I think if I work out in the morning before my day gets crazy I have a better chance of getting it done.

Hopefully posting on here my plans will motivate me I will update tomorrow on the progress!

You and me both! I am committed to start fresh tomorrow and get back to the gym and back on track eating! Only 46 days to go! I was doing so great, go to get back to it!

Where in NH are you from? I was just thinking how I need to make a change and get more motivated, too!

Yes! This! Let's all post tomorrow night with what we did. I'm determined this time around. Oh and my cholesterol is awful! Been eating oatmeal to try and get the bad cholesterol down.

I just heard about my fitness pal for the first time this evening while at dinner with friends. Of course by now I had completely forgotten all about it. Thanks for reminding me. I will look into it!

I have no workout planned for tomorrow because I can't get to the gym & it's way too hot to do anything outside. You've inspired me to see if I can work harder to make it fit into my schedule the next day though! I love going to the gym & doing the elliptical machine.

Okay I am happy to announce that I got up early and ran 3 miles!!! Knowing that I was going to post on here was a great motivator because I felt like I was being held accountable. Now that I got my workout of the way I get on with the rest of my day!

I want to join in! I've had alot of yo-yo weight issues the last two years due to poor eating habits, lack of motivation to exercise & diet pills. At my lowest I was so proud of myself I bought a bunch of new clothes & then totally went back to my old bad habits! I've gained it all back AND MORE in the last 6 months. I have a tight deadline with our trip starting on 9/28 but I have 30 days so I just want to drop as much as I can so I can fit into more of my summer wardrobe for the trip & not be disgusted when looking at pics later

Name: Tarrah
Age: 27
Location: Dallas TX
Height: 5'8"
Weight Now: 188 lbs
Weight Goal - Trip: 178 lbs (not banking on this in just 1 month but I can try!)
Weight Goal - Final: 165 lbs
How: bootcamp burst training - shrinkingjeans.net has a free 6 week bootcamp regimen I'm trying on my own at home & running in neighborhood - it's 3 workouts/week. Cardio as much as possible on top of bootcamp & dieting - using myfitnesspal app to stay at 1200 cal/day.

Monday I did day 1 of my boot camp, yesterday I was way too sore to even move so today will be doing day 2 after work. I'm hoping you all can help keep me accountable too, if even just by knowing I have to post my progress at some point each week

Congrats to all of you already starting to achieve your goals!! I'm excited to join you!

Name: Matt
Age: 32
Location: Philly
Height: 5'9"
Weight now: 205
Weight goal: 175
How: get back into running and cutting out some junk food. In the early part of the year, I got down to 194 but put some back on (mainly lazy during vacation). Looking to drop 30 lbs by Christmas. Trying to cut back on beer too.

The beer is really hard for me!!!! Good luck!

My update for the day - tried hard to get to 8:15 pump but didn't get to gym until 8:20 and the class was packed! Not a spot left. So ran/walked for 30 minutes on treadmill. I was bummed. I still plan on doing an abs workout on demand tonight. Tomorrow my goal is Zumba followed by yoga. Ive eaten pretty good - lots of protein! But did indulge in a lowfat ice cream brownie treat. Very small! But super yummy. Salad for dinner. Keep up the good work guys! I feel so much better just knowing I'm going to post here. Let's keep each other accountable.

I said last night I wouldn't have time to work out today, but this group made me work hard to figure out a time & I got 45 minutes on the elliptical today at the gym. I even weighed in & I've lost a total of 6 lbs now! I plan to return tomorrow as well.

 

[TarrahA]

I did my second day of bootcamp tonight, logged all my food for the day in myfitnesspal & came in with 500 calories under my 1200 goal, after accounting for exercise. Feeling great!! Good job to everyone else that worked out today too!
